Stars of Vaudeville #32: Nat M. Wills

cbe704094ba59140

Today is also the birthday of an amazing and unjustly neglected performer named Nat M. Wills. I did the liner notes for a re-release of his recordings (most of which were old-style cylinders). Amazing stuff, some of which you can hear at: http://www.archeophone.com/product_info.php?products_id=84.

But if you want the bio on the man, I’m afraid I can’t give this one away. You’ll have to get the CD from Archeophone!

To find out more about  the history of vaudeville, consult No Applause, Just Throw Money: The Book That Made Vaudeville Famous, available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and wherever nutty books are sold.
